Gorilla Announces Open Architecture Alternative to AVID Interplay and ISIS; will Demo at Cisco’s Briefing Center on 28 January

Gorilla Technology
Inc. has released an open architecture platform as an alternative solution to
AVID Interplay and Isis, Gorilla X-Share.

As a workflow solution targeting media companies, TV broadcasters and
production houses, Gorilla X-Share provides a common platform between multiple
video editing suites – including AVID, Apple, and Grass Valley – thus offering
a single yet open collaboration platform for video production.

“Gorilla X-Share solves the production bottlenecks that are plaguing today’s media
production and professional broadcasting industries,” said Dr Spincer Koh, CEO
of Gorilla Technology. “Rigid, proprietary systems continue to stifle the
efficiency, speed, and global reach of media companies, and in an industry
where time means money Gorilla offers a way to streamline workflows across
multiple productions and locations.”

With its broadcast industry solutions built around proven Media Asset
Management and Tiered Archiving technology, Gorilla has incorporated individual
non-linear editing (NLE) bays into its solution designs before. However,
Gorilla X-Share solves the problems associated with isolated “production silos”
by facilitating new and more efficient workflows between multiple NLE
production teams. Gorilla’s solution also facilitates more efficient creative
processes by being scalable across multiple sites and by including support for
remote and mobile approval of rough-cut content.

In 2012, Gorilla announced it had integrated AVID Interplay as part of its
Gorilla Silverback end-to-end workflow solution. The implementation allowed the
automatic transfer of AVID sequences and clips between AVID ISIS storage and
Gorilla’s MAM and Archiving modules.

At NAB 2013 Gorilla announced it was offering Gorilla Silverback as a hybrid
cloud solution enabling workflow monitoring and control across multiple sites.Gorilla also announced its certification for
Cisco’s UCS platform.

Gorilla X-Share leverages the integrated server and storage architecture of
Cisco UCS to deliver a high-performance solution for handling the heavy demands
of broadcast content.

The announcement and demonstration of Gorilla X-Share on Cisco UCS at Cisco’s
London Executive Briefing Center on January 28, represents the availability of
Gorilla’s collaboration platform as both an on-premises appliance and as a
cloud-based service.
